I've seen many threads suggesting products but they often don't mention FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software. With FOSS you are already boycotting capitalism, on either side. Free and Open Source ignores borders and shouldn't be categorized in nationalist terms, no matter where some of the maintainers happen to live.

Tell it to the Russian Linux devs that foss has no owners :-) Theory and practice are 2 different things

FOSS doesn't mean that you are entitled to a place at the table or that your contributions have to be accepted. Nothing prevents these Russian devs from continuing to to work on the kernel.

Pretty sure American laws explicitly prevent them from working on the Kernel. It's stupid but that's what happened iirc

They can fork it, if nobody wants to work with them anymore that's their problem
